Simpler, tighter and optimized code in the form of a quicker browser cannot handle the modern web page when the processor that runs it was designed over 20 years ago. Heck, ever thought of what a modern X86 processor would do with code that wasn't bloated with waste? Oops, the ghost of Linux past pops in the room.
